What the fuck does OTP mean, nerd?

But... Marisa is mine...

Hugging with Rinnosuke!

>>10195454
i-i-it means...


n-nevermind...
<s>;_;</s>

But Kourin's OTP is with Aya since Aya is ZUN's wife and Kourin is ZUN's self insert.

I would fall for Rinnosuke too, I mean just look at him.

>>10195484

Maybe he's cheating on both of them.

>>10195464
L-Lap pillow with Rinnosuke!

Clingy Marisa is a good Marisa.

Rinnosuke knew Marisa's father and Marisa since she was a little girl.

He also let's Marisa barge in and take whatever she wants.

It may not be romantic feelings but Rinnosuke cares a lot about her.

Surprise kiss with Kourin!

>>10195504

So it's still love even if haters deny it!

Pleasantly surprising Kourin with Marisa.

>>10195504
I'd not bat an eye if ZUN ever writes a Touhou postscript by the series and casually drops that "then Marisa and Rinnosuke married and joined their shops".

ZUN would probably suck writing romance and will probably never actually touch pairings, but Marisa vs. Rinnosuke would look strange if it didn't happen.

As for the "knows her since she was a little girl", this is the country that produced the Tale of Genji, that ZUN has to be very familiar with (with his whole folklorist hobby). So I don't think that would deter him.

Sleeping warmly on Kourin's lap.

Accidentally sleeping with Marisa.

>>10195536

To be honest, I think he purposely set these two up to be so close that people would pair them.

>>10195574
That fake smile.

I feel bad for him.

>>10195536
Then again, I hope he's not actually into kids and wait until Marisa is a proper adult. For the time being, this kind of innocent picture is cute.

>>10195574

>>10195580
Are you telling me that you wouldn't want to bang a loli Marisa?

>>10195574
This story is rather heartbreaking, but it does work too. In this case, "helps the long rain" means Rinnosuke is destined to be the first crush of an endless line of Kirisame girls.

In a related subject, I love how this artist did the adult Reimu and Marisa.

Oh god, why do artists do this with them?

>I wanted you to be the one to make me happy!

;_;

>>10195589
how old are canon reimu and marisa by now anywy?

>"helps the long rain"
So it's helpful to have a Rinnosuke to get you through those long, rainy nights?

>>10195536

Makes sense. If we're talking traditionalist Japan, a marriage with that sort of age slope isn't uncommon.

Oh boy! This is finally relevant!

>>10195602
I'm pretty sure they're legal in Spain.

>>10195602

18 if she was born on 1994 like Reimu was.

Also, why are there so many pictures of Marisa sitting on Kourin's lap?

>>10195602
94
it doesn't matter

>>10195613

Wow that's so fucking girly. Did a girl make this or something? Jesus.

>>10195629

Because it's canon that she likes to sit on his lap a lot.

>>10195631
Weird shit, uh? Another day I heard that there was a girl using the internet.

>>10195629
There's a pixiv tag just for that. (膝の上の聖域)

>>10195601

>Rinnosuke is destined to be the first crush of an endless line of Kirisame girls.

I prefer that Marisa becomes an ageless magician and they both make more happy memories in paradise for a long time.

For some reason, it's cuter when Marisa is the one taking the initiative. (picture not related)

>>10195661
Which brings us to the problem girl here.

I imagine Reimu will go ballistic the day Marisa joins the Youkai ranks.

Why does ZUN have Rinnosuke set up flags with girls but he doesn't do anything with them?

He forgot to make him a her.
What a nerd.

>>10195666
Reimu will ascend to godhood or become a youkai or just not give a damn and die of old age leaving behind Marisa.

>>10195666

I wonder if Rinnosuke would actually end up with Reimu.

Princess carry

>>10195576

I love these

>>10195679
I can see ZUN pairing Kourin with Reimu if only to surprise everyone.

/jp/'s favorite pairing.

>>10195715
Reimu's too lazy to go after Rinnosuke.

>>10195448
He was there before Marisa was even born, and there was the Kirisame family. He used to work for them so I guess "helps the long rain"?

>>10195744
One interesting angle that you don't see explored: What's the relationship between Rinnosuke and Mima? Mima took Marisa for training for a time. How did Rinnosuke react to that?

>>10195664

Because he doesn't want to break the illusion of yurifags that Marisa is a normal healthy girl who is interested in a tall handsome male with superior youkai genes.

>>10195754

Maybe they helped raise her together after Marisa ran away from her father.

>>10195754
That never happened because Mima does not exist in canon.

>>10195775
That could work. It's canon that there's some bad blood between Marisa and her father, after all.

This thread is gay as hell.

Every RinnoMari material is so shoujo. No wonder it's a popular pairing with girls.

>>10195791
het is the new gay.

>>10195801
Lets see: Tall, white-haired, bespetacled bishounen vs. Short, blonde, boyish (lack of manners, speech) girl.

No sir, I'm not seeing the obvious shoujo here.

>>10195801
I'm not a girl, but i like this pairing a lot. A-am I gay?

HNGGGGGGHHH

>>10195847
On the extreme of this tendency, there's art that completely butchers Marisa's character design for some extra shoujo-ness. Marisa's kitsune eyes are like the first victims in these extra-shoujo pictures.

>>10195853

Yeah you're a super faggot.

SO MUCH SHOUJO

>>10195891

>Marisa... Didn't you put in a bit too much garlic?
>fu-fu-fu. What kind of pretty girl would you speak to with that smelly mouth? (Prevents you from cheating-da ze)
>Hey now! (Cheating...?)
>Ah, does it not taste good? I'm sorry!
>Well, it's tasty, but... I have to say that it's too much.

Probably the only pairing I wouldn't be surprised when finally confirmed. It's basically confirmed already.

>>10195629
We know that Reimu is older than Marisa though not by much.

>>10195679
People are still falling for that troll translation?

>>10196015

We just pretend we fall for it. That's the joke.

Why did ZUN have to make him into a bishounen?

>>10196080
It's basically a palette-swapped version of ZUN himself, of course he wouldn't make him ugly.

>>10196116
Where's the hat?

>>10196127
ZUN just wears the hat because it's not socially acceptable to wear a fancy outfit like Rinnosuke, so he's compensating.

No pockey kiss pictures?

>>10196170
I bet it feels nice to have someone care for you like that.

>Well? Does it suit me?
>Of course, very cute.
>..You didn't really mean that... did you?
>--But I really meant that...

there used to be no Rinnosuke threads ever unless they were MANLY!Rinnosuke

now we've had like three in the last week

why are you taking him from me /jp/

>>10196231
Your post reminds me of that old tripfag, MANkoto... I used to have a big crush on him. I wonder where he is now?

>>10196231

Because he's the best project shrine maiden.

Rinnosuke/Marisa thread with zero raging? More than that, everyone is in agreement? I'm surprised /jp/

they are cute and I like cute things

>>10196376
For the downright retarded ones there's no rage, just sorrow.
Don't go meta and enjoy your thread without disturbing the regular users.

Finally, a decent secondary thread.

>touhous
>love
They're such bitches, none of them have the capacity for real love.

>>10197886
that's not very nice.

Plot device when, ZUN?

>>10195500
>>10195551
Get in line, tough girl.

>>10197925
¿How can you grip it? It has spikes

What about Josei?

>>10197925
Rinnosuke confirmed for 13.5, you heard it here first.
